TCU is close to adding Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila to the team as they enter the 2026-27 college basketball season. Avila, who was the Atlantic-10 Player of the Year last year, was granted a preliminary injunction last week to play another season. This seemed to allow him to return to Saint Louis, but the College Sports Commission intervened and halted his return as the program had already reached its 15-player limit.
Consequently, Avila is now set to join TCU, a program that began the season with a 3-0 record under head coach Jamie Dixon. The Horned Frogs have made it to the NCAA Tournament in four of the past five seasons. For those interested in staying updated on player transfers, On3's Transfer Portal wire, Instagram account, and Twitter account are great resources. This story is ongoing and will be updated.
